Louisiana Tech and neighboring Grambling State University operate an ROTC exchange program. Louisiana Tech operates the Air Force ROTC while Grambling operates the Army ROTC, and students from either school may participate in either program.

Since 2006, Louisiana Tech has played host to Summer Leadership School for [[Air Force Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps]] cadets from public school systems all over the United States. It is operated by normal [[USAF]] retirees, but mostly by college level Cadet Training Officers. These sessions are held towards the end of the month of June for nine days.
